- Description:
- This study examined retention of recovering addicts. The purpose of this study was to determine why recovering addicts leave faith-based agencies within six months to a year. The study utilized an exploratory descriptive research design. The sample consisted of 20 recovering addicts from two different faith-based agencies and ten recovering addicts who had already left the agencies. The analysis consisted of percentages and chi-square analysis. The results indicated that the rate of retention among the two faith-based agencies were similar. The chi-square analysis found no statistically significance between the two churches. In conclusion, the study found that both churches had the same level of retention.
